Gal Civ 4 unloads Multiplicity

from Stardock Forums

I have been playing GC4 since about alpha .5 and I run two towers with 2 monitors and use multiplicity to run them. I normally have a game and the web up on my old tower and play GC4 on my new tower. When I need to check something on the net, play the other game, or type something in discord I just move my mouse over to the other screen. I have had no problems until GC4 live 1.0. Now when I try to do it the mouse is locked to my main tower. When I goto check multiplicity I notice that it has been unloaded. To get multiplicity back up I have to reboot my main tower to be able to reload multiplicity. Help..... I am unable to play just one game at a time with no access to discord and the web on the second screen.....

While I dont doubt that MP is not loaded, I doubt it has anything to do with the game.

Can you confirm that MP is working just before you run the game, and upon closing the game, it is then unloaded?

I also want to know the state of the MP service - is it set to Auto:

MP is loaded before I run the GC4 and when I try to move over to the other screen and GC4 minimizes I look in the systray and I see the icon for MP disappear. Then when I try to load MP just will not load. Nothing happens. I go into task manager and kill anything to do with MP and try to run MP again. Nothing. Ihave to reboot.

This only started to happen with GC4 live 1.0. Never been a problem in alpha and beta builds.

GC4 is minimizing when you try to switch?  Thats not normal either
